What else can I help you with?
Where do you put your feet when riding a bike?
Your feet are normally on the pedals.
What happens when you try to ride a bike with the pedals moving only backwards and not forward?
When you try to ride a bike with the pedals moving only backwards and not forward, the bike will not move forward. The pedals need to move in a forward motion in order for the bike to propel forward.
Legs moving the pedals of a bicycle is an example of energy?
Mechanical energy
What do you call a three wheeled vehicle by pedals?
Tricycle?
How do tricycle pedals differ from bicycle pedals in terms of design and functionality?
Tricycle pedals are typically larger and have a wider base compared to bicycle pedals. This design provides more stability and support for the rider's feet, making it easier to pedal and maintain balance on a tricycle. Additionally, tricycle pedals are often designed with straps or cages to secure the rider's feet in place, which can be helpful for individuals with mobility or balance issues.
What is the difference between a freecoasterhub and a freewheel hub?
A freewheel will let the wheel roll forward w/o the pedals moving, but will pull on the pedals when the wheel is rolled backwards. A freecoaster hub can be rolled backwards w/o pulling on the pedals.
What is a freecoasting bmx bike?
A free-coaster is a bike, or rather a special type of rear hub, that allows the bike to roll both backwards and forwards w/o the pedals moving. Most bikes can roll forward(=coast) w/o the pedals moving, but with a regular freewheel hub the pedals will begin to spin if you push the bike backwards. A freecoaster OTOH can roll backards w/o the pedals moving as well. Real important if you want to do trick riding that involves going backwards and pretty pointless otherwise.
How do pedals function on a bicycle and what do pedals do?
Pedals on a bicycle are attached to the crank arms and are used to transfer the rider's energy into forward motion. When the rider pushes down on the pedals, the crank arms rotate, which turns the chain and ultimately drives the rear wheel. Pedals allow the rider to propel the bicycle forward by applying force with their feet in a circular motion.
Do clipless pedals make a significant difference in cycling performance and efficiency?
Clipless pedals can improve cycling performance and efficiency by allowing for a more secure connection between the rider's feet and the pedals, resulting in better power transfer and control.
What are the benefits of using clipless bike pedals compared to traditional pedals?
Clipless bike pedals offer several benefits over traditional pedals. They provide a more efficient transfer of power from the rider's legs to the pedals, resulting in improved speed and performance. Additionally, clipless pedals allow for a more secure connection between the rider's feet and the pedals, reducing the risk of slipping or losing control while cycling. Overall, clipless pedals can enhance a cyclist's efficiency, power output, and overall riding experience.
What are the different types of pedals available for a bike and how do they affect the overall performance and comfort of the rider?
There are three main types of bike pedals: platform pedals, clipless pedals, and toe clip pedals. Platform pedals are basic flat pedals that offer good grip but less efficiency. Clipless pedals require special cycling shoes and provide better power transfer and efficiency. Toe clip pedals have straps that secure the rider's feet to the pedals, offering a balance of efficiency and ease of use. The choice of pedal type can greatly impact a rider's performance and comfort based on their riding style and preferences.
Did the first bicycles have pedals?
No. The rider straddled the bike and kicked himsel forward with the feet on the ground.
